Shape the next generation of UBC founders
Why Mentor with Innovation UBC?
Our mentors support one of Canada’s most dynamic university entrepreneurship ecosystems. They work with researchers, students, and early-stage founders who are turning ideas, discoveries, and technologies into real-world impact.
Mentorship at Innovation UBC is not about having all the answers. It is about helping founders develop their own judgment, expand their thinking, and build resilience as leaders.
Our Approach
Coaches first, experts second. We ask mentors to guide, not direct.
That means helping founders think through challenges, test assumptions, and consider new possibilities — while recognizing that the venture belongs to the team building it.
Our strongest mentors combine lived experience with curiosity, generosity, and good judgment.
